Arguing with my Deaf husband

Obviously, this is a bit exaggerated with some truth... Okay, so we had an actual argument about this a few weeks ago. Let me give you more context. Generally, I leave Zach’s side alone; it’s his side, even though it bothers me. But then one night, he came into the bathroom really frustrated that while I was getting ready for bed, I left all my drawers open (because I was still using them). He wouldn’t let it go, so I brought up all the stuff on his side of the counter and how that bothers me.
Let’s just say it was late, we were both exhausted, and the argument did not end in a hug. It ended in frustration, with neither of us feeling heard or validated. Even though it’s a “small” thing, we were both pretty upset... (I’m actually embarrassed to admit it).
BUT HERE’S THE IMPORTANT PART:
When our emotions calmed down, we didn’t just sweep this issue under the rug. We talked about it again, respectfully, validating each other, and came up with a solution that “works” for both of us. I say “works” because we decided to just leave each other alone. I won’t bother him about his way, and he won’t bother me about my way. Lol. It’s worked for the past few weeks. We’ll see how long it lasts before one of us feels too bothered again. 😅😂
Anyways, if you’re in a long-term relationship, I’m pretty sure you’ve argued about small things as well. Don’t sweep them under the rug. When you both have had time to calm down, take the time to calmly come back to the topic and discuss the issue when you’re not both exhausted and frustrated.

The aggressive eye closing 😂

Never close your eyes on an angry deaf woman... you can't see the hand headed for the side of your head!😅

This is literally so cute and funny, but I could tell a real argument happened at one point because that "serious mom" look was spot on 😆

Hehehe. Yes it used to frustrate me endlessly when my brother used to turn around when we fought as kids, or when I pinned him down just closed his eyes!!

Honestly you are remarkable for being so perfect in sign language

The eye closing reminds me of my self and turn my hearing aids off when I don’t want to hear someone.😂

[@jackrowe5571]

Hand movements too small for "arguing"! We always needed a lot of room for a serious argument!😮

Someone has OCD to me, we have two sinks i leave all my morning night needs on my counter. This journey is to short to be bother by simply things. I hear what she is saying but are you listening to what I sm saying.
